Hi everybody,
I've got good news for all Mac OS X PixInsight users. Today I've been able to build a usable 64-bit version of PixInsight on Mac OS X. Below is a screenshot.

On the screenshot, note the dimensions and size of the NGC 7331 image: 24000x24000 pixels and 6.4 GB!
There are still some problems, mainly screen drawing issues and a few cursor problems, but the application is 100% functional now. It is also compatible with both Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and Leopard (10.5). I think I'll manage to release a first 64-bit version for the Mac with the upcoming 1.6.1 release.
